He might be a global pop star with a string of charttopping hits and a multimillion-pound fortune.

But singer Gary Barlow is still a down-to-earth lad at heart.

The Take That frontman has invited 100 pals to celebrate his 10th wedding anniversary with dancing, bingo and a slap-up meal... of fish and chips.

Gary and wife Dawn, who have one of the most solid marriages in show business, are throwing a £250,000 party at the swanky Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Knightsbridge, London. Guests, who are thought to include Gary's bandmates Mark, Howard and Jason and old pal Robbie Williams, have been told the dress code is "glamorous".

But the food will be anything but, laid on by famous fish and chip chain Harry Ramsden's.

An insider said: "There will be oodles of the finest champagne, of course. And the venue is very swish. But Gary and Dawn are everyday folk at heart. They didn't want daft French scoff.

"Who needs it when you can have fish, chips and a good dollop of mushy peas?" She added: "Even the invites are typical of them. There's a bottle of champagne with bingo balls bursting out of the top.

"They might be worth a fortune but they know how to have a good time.

"And although they've been married for 10 years, they're still madly in love."

Gary, 38, met former backing dancer Dawn, 39, when she worked with Take That as they found fame the first time round.

He proposed with a £10,000 ring after a four-year romance and they wed on the Caribbean island of Nevis in 2000.

The couple, who live in London, have three children - Daniel, nine, Emily, seven, and nine-monthold Daisy.
